The new Toyota Urban Cruiser has just been unveiled at the Brussels Motor Show, AutoSalon/Salon de l’Auto 2025.
The latest addition to Toyota’s growing range of 100% electric models stands out with a “hammerhead shark” front end – the latest design language from Toyota, muscular front and rear bumpers, and a light signature that extends the width of the tailgate, further highlighting the athletic stance of the wheel arches.
Inside, thanks to a long wheelbase of 2.70 meters and a flexible, sliding arrangement of the rear seats, passengers in the back benefit from generous legroom.
The cabin design is characteristic of SUVs, featuring a horizontal and low instrument panel and a high driving position that provides a panoramic view. The cabin environment can be customized with a lighting system that offers 12 different color settings.
The Urban Cruiser will be offered with two battery capacity options, with the range yet to be revealed, and the choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Both utilize lithium iron phosphate technology, which offers advantages in durability, safety, and reduced cost. Acceleration is quick and linear, both from a standstill and at overtaking speeds.
The front-wheel drive version is available with a 144 hp electric motor powered by a 49 kWh battery. Additionally, for the FWD model, there will be a 61 kWh capacity battery that powers a motor producing 174 hp and 189 Nm of maximum torque.
In certain European markets, the Urban Cruiser will also be offered with all-wheel drive, adding an electric motor to the rear axle to increase the power to 184 hp and 300 Nm of torque. The two electric motors are powered by a 61 kWh battery.
The Urban Cruiser will come standard with a wide range of advanced active safety and driver assistance features, including pre-collision systems, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning/keeping assistance.
Toyota has announced that the 100% electric Urban Cruiser is now available for pre-order in some markets (not including the Portuguese market), with the first deliveries in those countries expected by the end of summer.
